[RTTY] debate

[NW7US, Tomas]

I am one-handed - just had my second surgery, this one on my left wrist,  
for carpel tunnel release.  My right hand was done about two months ago.   
I am still recovering from that as I have about a 50lbs loss still in that  
hand.  So -- I really need a typing "level" for my situation.

With that said,

I usually don't weigh in on discussions like this regarding contests and  
"making it even."  However, as a propagationist - heh - I often bemoan the  
fact that those who live in regions where propagation is more favorable  
get higher scores.  I live right in a valley that has high elevations on  
three sides of me.  I only hear whispers of the signals that my far  
neighbors in Seattle hear at S9.  I hear the Seattle stations working some  
mystery signal, and give reports of 599.  So, I figure that there must  
need to be a class in all contests that "handicap" those who have  
situations drastically different than those in other areas.

Of course, the returned answer to such logic is that I should just move.

I can't wait until that day...
